At Gordon Elementary, our Circle of Care is designed to foster a safe, inclusive, equitable, welcoming, nurturing, and healthy school environment. This applies to all members of the Gordon community—students, educators, parents and caregivers—at school, traveling to and from school, at school-related activities at any location, or any circumstance or activity that will have an impact on the school environment (including online behaviour). The staff explicitly teach and model what it means to R.I.S.E. in all locations of the school and the community.
